Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Use your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately fill each thumbprint with caramel sauce.
In a microwave or double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Drizzle over the cookies for decoration.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
